The Community Crisis Intervention Program ("CCIP") uses credible messengers to serve as Community Crisis Outreach Workers to prevent and reduce gun violence in Philadelphia.
CCIP employs proactive strategies aimed at fostering meaningful relationships in Philadelphia's most violent neighborhoods, steering those involved in violence (or at a high risk of violence) into alternative positive choices, mediating neighborhood conflicts, and responding to neighborhood crises related to violence. The City seeks to work with multiple providers.
Applicants can submit a proposal for one, multiple or city-wide CCIP implementation. However, all selected organizations will be required to work together towards shared outcomes developed and supervised by the Office of Violence Prevention.
To view the request for proposals, go here and search under the Mayor's Office of Community Services.
